With 166 damaging-wind events recorded across Hunterdon County, lifted, creased, and torn-off shingles are among the most common roofing calls near Glen Gardner.
Many Glen Gardner homes were built around 1978, so roofs here are commonly 48+ years old — near or past the 20–30 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, when curling, granule loss, and leaks set in.
Hunterdon County has logged 10 hail events in the last 11 years, some with stones up to 1.5 inches. Hail bruises shingles, knocks loose the protective granules, and cracks aging shingles — damage that often doesn't leak right away but shortens roof life.
Hunterdon County has seen 2 tornadoes in the past 11 years. Severe storms can strip shingles, puncture decking, and cause leaks that need fast, professional repair.
Coastal exposure near Glen Gardner drives rain under shingles and flashing and corrodes metal roof components faster than inland conditions.
| Season | What it means for your roof |
|---|---|
| Spring | Peak hail and severe-storm season — inspect after every major storm and document damage for insurance. |
| Summer | Heat and storms continue; ideal for replacements between weather systems. |
| Fall | Catch-up season for repairs and gutter cleaning before winter rain and wind. |
| Winter | Milder window for inspections and repairs in much of the region; storm damage can still occur. |
